I did not have an encounter with the chainsaw despite what it may appear.
I scrounged a truckload of firewood tonight including some box elder with the red streaks in it. Most will go for shoulder season firewood, but I saved a few chunks for my brother to see what interesting projects he can make. Honestly, I wouldn't have even gotten the wood, but he expressed mild interest in a few pieces. And there is another truckload or more of ash included as well. And it's free. So there's that.
